Key Words Tracheal diverticulum; Dysphagia; Hoarseness; Difficult intubation
Core Tip Tracheal diverticula are extremely rare. They are usually asymptomatic. We report two cases of tracheal diverticulum with dysphagia and hoarseness. Difficult intubation is exceedingly rare, however, we encountered difficulty in intubation in both cases. With recent imaging techniques, the future anesthetic management of a patient with tracheal diverticulum involves performing intubation under bronchoscopic guidance and ventilation strategies to prevent fatal complications.
